How it works : Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revival

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a Thopter that came under your control this turn has legally attacked, causing it to lose haste by removing Pia Nalaar won't remove that Thopter from combat. It will just keep attacking. Good Thopter.
